FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[oldmoose]

Welcome oldmoose -- tell your friends, have them tell more friends, students, you name it.  The SCAC doesn't tend to see a lot of chat so the more the merrier.

We're still waiting from anyone from Colorado College to show up, too.  I'm getting a little tired of being the "CC by proxy" rep.   

Colorado College is a little far-flung for a mostly Southeastern conference, though it's not that far from the Texas schools.  The last thing the SCAC needed, however, is more Tigers!  Traveling there will be a little expensive, especially since their games are BYOO - Bring your own oxygen!

+k Oldmoose,

I played against CC in 1969-1970 and it is a real factor in the games!  I wish we could have BYOO as players.

This is my first post and probably my last but I feel like I owe Around The South readers an apology for my last column. No one is forcing me to do this. It's just the right thing to do.

I don't apologize for my opinion but for my facts being incorrect. That was irresponsible and I was trying to write by memory instead of double-checking my facts. That's a cardinal sin in journalism and the readers deserve better. I sincerely apologize for that.

My style of writing is not for everyone (it's probably not for many). I'm not a hard news guy, I stopped doing that three or four years ago and I think that this site deserves something different. Last night, I let Pat know that I would no longer be writing Around The South. These guys are fantastic and great for Division III sports and the way I write was not beneficial for their site. I greatly appreciate them letting me play a part in the site for more than a year.

Most importantly, I just wanted to offer a personal apology for my facts being incorrect. I appreciate all the feedback - positive and negative.

Go Cru!

Thanks Big C. I hope I can catch the game through that and not have to get the text message updates whenever somebody realizes I'm not there.

Word from atop the mountain is that Jeremiah Marks will NOT play today for DPU. I don't have specifics on the injury other than it's not expected to be something that keeps him out long-term. But he will not go today against Sewanee.

[Ron Boerger]

Hmm ... just tuned to the Millsaps radio and Burt Pereira is playing QB for the Majors, not Juan Joseph.  Will update if I hear what's up.

Update:  Rhodes and MC exchange punts, then Millsaps picks off a Rhodes pass on the Lynx' second series, one play later the Majors take a 7-0 lead.  About 9 minutes left in the first quarter. 

[Ron Boerger]

Rhodes turns the ball over in the red zone again, this time it takes three plays before Periera runs it in from three yards out.  14-0 Millsaps with under five to play in the first. 

[Ron Boerger]

Yet another Rhodes turnover (this time an INT) is returned by Marcus Harris for a Millsaps TD.   21-0 with 3:31 still to play in the first quarter.

DePauw misses a field goal from the Sewanee 18 at 6:59 in the 1st,  score is 0-0.   DePauw offense is moving ball but not able to get it in once they get in the red zone.  Sewanee just ripped off a long pass play.

[awadelewis]

DePauw 7, Sewanee 0 at the start of the start of second after a decent long drive finished with a Ford touchdown.

[DPU3619]

Not sure if I missed something, but that drive was all Dorrius Ford.  No Marks.

[Ron Boerger]

'3619, DPULefty22 said Marks was out with a minor injury today.

Rhodes manages to put up a goal-line stand on Millsaps, stopping them on fourth down from the 1-foot line.  It's about the first good thing the Lynx have done all day.  Still 21-0 and I don't think Rhodes has gotten a first down today.  The Majors are getting all kinds of penetration and causing chaos in the backfield.  Time running down in the first half, 2:25 and running. 

Lousy punt returned to the Rhodes 29 but holding on the return pushes it back to midfield, Majors have 1:23 to try and put another one on the board. 

[DPU3619]

Thanks, Ron.  I guess actually reading the board would be a start.

[Ron Boerger]

With 6:58 left in third quarter in Danville, Austin College leads Centre 14-7.  The 'Roos scored on their opening possession of the second half.  QB Andy Braly was injured and was replaced by Kent Bell who scored on a 33-yard run.    Wow - AC's broadcast crew does a very professional job.

To be fair to Rhodes (now at half there), the Lynx defense isn't playing badly, just had a short field to defend on the two scores they allowed.  The offense is just struggling and turning the ball over a lot. 

[awadelewis]

7 Sewanee, 7 DePauw at 5:40 in 2nd.  Big play was a run by one of the platooning Sewanee QBs.

Marks is not playing today.  No word as to why.
